Partner guide
October 30, 2026 · 4 min read
You know business owners. We know the AI labs that want to license their records. You make the introduction; 6/8 Labs handles everything after it: the calls, the buyers, de-identification, the contracts and the payments.
How to introduce a company
Two ways, whichever suits the relationship:
- An email. Write to the owner or a decision maker with m@sixeightapp.com in copy, and we pick it up from there.
- Your tracked link. Register the company to get a link, then send it to the owner. The referral is protected for 90 days from the day you register it.
How you raise it is up to you. You know the person, and you know how they like to hear about things.
What makes a company worth more
Any established company can fit, whatever it does and wherever it is. These push the value up:
- A long record. More years of continuous history means more decisions with known outcomes.
- Work done in real systems. Email, chat, CRM, tickets, project files, accounting, drawings, code: whatever the team uses every day.
- A bigger team. More people means more work on record. The minimum is 25 employees, and for US companies that means W-2 employees.
- Someone who can sign. An owner or executive who can agree to license the data.
Not sure a company fits? Send it anyway and we’ll take a look, or run the qualifying checklist together.
What it is, in plain words
AI labs are teaching their models to do real jobs, and the best material for that is the record of how real companies work: the emails, tickets, files and decisions most businesses already keep. Labs pay well to license it. Before anything reaches a lab, every record is stripped of personal details, and the company approves what leaves.
Questions owners ask
| Owner asks | A good answer |
|---|---|
| What’s it worth? | It depends on what the company has on record. The instant estimate gives a range in about two minutes; larger companies commonly land between $100K and $2M+ for one licence. We review the data and make an offer, free and with no obligation. |
| Who buys it? | AI labs. They use real work records to build practice workplaces where their models learn to do office and specialist jobs. |
| What about privacy? | Names, contact details and anything else that identifies a person are removed before any lab sees a record, and the company approves each release in writing. See how de-identification works. |
| Do we give up our data? | No. It’s a licence, not a sale. The company keeps ownership, chooses what’s included, and on a non-exclusive licence can license the same data again. |
| How much work is it? | Not much: describe the company and its systems, share a small sample, take one short call about what’s there, approve the terms, then export the data. Our team handles the rest. |
| How fast are we paid? | In as little as 7 days after a lab licenses the data, and within 60 days at most, under the signed agreement. |
| Who are you to us? | Your own words work best. Something like: “I came across 6/8 Labs and think your records could be worth a lot. I get a referral fee, but it’s paid on top, so it never comes out of what you receive.” |
Anything else, send it to dhindsamax@gmail.com and we’ll answer.
